Leaving for a while

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Yup I flew threw the new airport - the one that's made from an artificial island...an artificial island with thousands of big planes landing on it every day...but yeah it was pretty impressive. I booked my airline luggage at Hong Kong Station (just near the hotel) and caught a 10 minute train to the airport, instead of carrying my bags to the airport and then waiting in queues to check them in.

NZ is bloody lovely, by th way. If you hear that I'm moving here, do not be surprised. I'm building a Flickr account while I'm out here (same username) though it's mostly forests, beaches and steam trains so far, and I've got ****loads to upload.

Heh, I'm out in a shed on a remote farm on the other side of the world and there's broadband.

Peace and love.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

It's too quiet. I miss Besty.

Emvee, if you move to Enzee, you will have to put me up and listen to me talk big about kayaking something.

A year (and a few days) ago.

You did return, however...

Three pints! Do we have four?

Btw, I bought my broke friend a Guinness yesterday and he looked at me like I had just offered him an extra-large pizza and a playboy bunny for the night. Found out he's been drinking Pabst (or however you spell it) for months. :roll:

I'd offer to buy nate a pint but I'm fairly certain that much real alcohol would kill him.

... That's one! Do we have two?

One non-pint for Nate.

(Nate is Compy? I don't know what his real name is, but I should. It might be useful if he ever tries to steal my firstborn.)

Whoever Nate is, if he's very good he gets an appletini. Easy on the tini.

So, now both Paul and Nate have people potentially buying pints for them without having done anything themselves.

I think I'll go and sit at Dave's currently empty table...

Not to mention Paul and Nate probably make more than most people on the boards, and yet STILL we serfs pay tribute.

Actually, Sadie was here 6 days before you.

A pint for Sadie, I say!

And a pint for Lee too!

In fact, let's everyone have a pint! Be it alcohol, non-alcohol, or, well, a pint glass wot I nicked from dan the pub and used to glass some guy who looked at me funny, for Predabot.

right.

so it all starts off ok.

i get offered beer, a token of appreciation in my world and the gesture grows for a few posts.

Then some ****ing yank whines about it.

and suddenly he gets offered beer. Which we all know he can't cope with.

then it gets stated that we "haven't done anything ourselves" - please bitch - we is the shizzle dizzle transfans bizzle. Well, i am. He licks goats. But i ******' well is, innit?

then everyone gets involved in this beer scrounging thus debasing the glorious concept of using ale to lure me back.

rubbish.

i'm never coming back ever.

until i write a fairly lengthy post to get a few things off my chest anyway, which may take a while.

But for now, today i got a bit dragged back into a past some of you know about.

and so i wanted to say hello to some of the people who helped me get through it and will help me get through anything else.

sorry for being a bit (ha) random. and melodramatic.

much love, wishing i was more eloquent & back soon or there abouts ,

Look after yourselves

A pint says this lengthy post of things to get off the chest mentions religion, wankers, or breasts.
